Toy makers risk another season of blockbusters

by Crazy, filed in Movies, Toys on May.13, 2006

Yahoo has an interesting article on how a number of this summer’s coming movies are having toy lines made. The article focuses on the DaVinci Code and how it relates to last summer’s Star Wars toy ‘success’. I say success in quotes because Hasbro just reported a large loss and blamed it solely on sluggish sales of Star Wars toys. The article also makes note of how awful things went when the toy line came out for the Phanton Menace when it turned out that it was not well received by audiences. They also mention how poorly Last Action Hero translated to a toy line and a number of the other movies coming out that will get the toy aisle treatment including Superman Returns, Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man’s Chest, and Pixar’s Cars.

It was interesting to note how X3 was seemingly absent from the entire article.

Did they even bother with an X3 line? X1 was poor, X2 was small. I know it feels like we should get Marvel Legends quality figures (lord knows Spider-Man and Fantastic 4 did), but I feels like they just don’t care about X-Men stuff.

x3 opens in 2 weeks. shouldn’t we SEE them by now?

click

these are the same characters as X3, but X3 ain’t mentioned anywhere on packaging and the models looks way off.

I think as far as X3 is concerned, all we’re getting are statues of some of the main characters.
